+Wotan Natow -- Do you mean `School`? What about the rest of us that have finished school?? I think exercising structures like the one in the video above should be build on Every Park or public space!!
God I know! Most often I'm more impressed by the carpentry skills a lot of them OCR- athletes posses than their OCR skills. I'm ecsagurating of course but you get the idea😉
I get to watch alot of tips this dude deserves a medal.....very few out there who can do both the knowing his stuff and do the explaination simply.....seriously will share these stuff more with our friends...do keep it up ....
I a, a competitive rock climber and I have been using grip strength exercises but I have never tried the towel idea. Thanks for making this video. I think your methods that I'll be adopting will help out a lot.
Can you explain to us the progression you made into becoming such an awesome ninja? Like, what was day 1 like? 1 chinup? 10 second holds? What did you do from that point? Work out every day, every other day?
these are all pretty advanced - could you do an intro to grip strength for beginners? I can dead hang for about 30 seconds but can't do any of the other movements you've included here. what are some easier things I can do to build up to these?
Chinups are a great one to build up the arm strength (dead hangs too). Dumbbell holds (just holding a heavy dumbbell as long as you can) is another great one, allows you to start as light as you need and work your way up. Could also try climbing anything nearby (be it a tree or wall) to build up the functional strength). If you have a rock climbin facility nearby that's also very helpful.
Actually if you wanted strength training for grip, endurant hold is not great for it. Add weight to your body and hold/hang around 8s-10s max, do not go to failure. When repeat after 2 min rest or more, add more weight then do it. Never grip hold until your grip fails, stay fresh and rest long is the protocol for strength grip training. I save time by doing something else in between sets. You want to be able to hang with at least double your body weight toal. For me that would be 310 lb total more or less. Currently I got to 275. Ball grips hanging is tougher than stair steps or bar hanging. I expect to reach 310 total in 30 day or less. Good luck
Nice stuff! Only downside with the wrist roller is yout form. Your shoulder will get fatigue before your arm. Better way to do it is in a 90 degree position with your arms or just let them hang and roll. Its not a shoulder exercise!
Man, I want this guy and his climbing playground in my neighborhood. I'd pay to workout there. Help defray the cost of the stuff. Help put stuff up. This is awesome. There should be a whole neighborhood of kids that are amazingly strong. Of course, in our litigious / monetary society. Some local gym would call whatever regulators and say they were worried about his gym. Not worried about kids safety - worried about their profits as people realize gym shmim, I'm working out with him.
Good vid ta! I'm 122kg lump but doing ok with my training.. I used captains of crush grippers and I found those really helped my grip strength and has allowed me to hold on and build back strength at a point where my grip may have gone long before. Subd 😁
Hi ! My weight is 85kg normal body structure. I tried to do pull ups. But I can't do even single pull up too. How can I do more pull ups? For that what exercise I want to do? Pls help me. Thanks in advance.
That's a great video, good tips but I'm wondering, my grip strength in my left hand / wrist isn't strong enough to hang one handed with that, what can you do to start off and build up to the proper hangs?
you forgot to mention that you have to weigh really light. Im closing in on 200lbs yet I can do deadlifts and squats and bench press yet I can do a pull up because of my weight. good video tho
Thanks for the great video! I'm a big guy (230+lbs) used to lifting heavy weights, but my grip was lagging behind, so I looked for some advice. Gotta tell you - these exercises are hell on earth when you are tall and heavy =D!!
If by functional strength you mean strength you can use in everyday activities then literally any exercise builds that, if you can deadlift 3x your bodyweight you're not gonna have a problem lifting a fridge
+Mike Shu What's good about it? Just because he does 7 pull ups with fast pace? Nothing in the video shows he has good strength or muscle. Having said that, his grip stregth seems ok for his size. I'd suggest he try dead hangs from a thick bar or a fat grip. Adds another level.
he doesn't look muscular in his intro because he does not have a large neck. he is certainly pound for pound strong in his upper body and he is low bodyfat which really aids with the type of exercises he is demonstrating. overall, great advice and an excellent video! thanks TheUrbanNinja!!
When I try to add a bit of swinging on a static pullup bar like at 4:00 it wrecks the skin on my upper palms even with chalk. Is that something that will toughen with practice or do you have any tips there?
Fantastic tutorial but would be better if there was a hot chick maybe pulling up whilst doing the splits... But really fantastic and informative I'm going to try some of methods.
Maybe we should only judge people on second impressions. The Ginger M+M is so strong he employs the weld grip, very few can get that sort of grip strength.
Fucking moneky!!! :D Daaamn I just started hanging for gripstrenght! I have been liftong for strenght in many uears and realise my grip is weak as fuck :D I have started hanging with two arm/ one arm. I put this training in every finished workout. I can only hang 7-9 sec with one hand so should I focus hanging with two hands?
Another great grip exercise: Farmer carries. Load that shit up as heavy as you can and you will have some strongman-level grip. You too can be that asshole that overly-crushes during a casual handshake... just train, my friend, it's what we all aspire to do.
For real, did you build this yourself? How do we get one of these? I agree with previous commentors... with this rig, a plyo box, a jump rope and a couple of sandbags, I would never need to go to a gym again.
Does stage one two three and four still go on through one night or do they make you come back? I seen that stage one had 2 weeks in 2016 and wasn't sure if they just split the show and still did it all in one night.
What an incredibly informative and complete video about grip strength !!! Thank you for the detailed instruction. Now help me build a ninja obstacle gym :-) Really awesome.
